A minimum of two years’ experience working as a Paramedic in an operational setting within the Trust

Applicants who do not have a prior level 5 qualification (i.e. a Foundation degree or Diploma) will also be required to submit a Portfolio as part of their application to University of Cumbria.

This programme will enable successful applicants to undertake a part-funded distance learning programme in under two years.

This opportunity (Cohort 5) is part-funded by the Trust. The Trust has been fortunate enough to secure external funding in order to cover the cost of the first year of study, the initial induction (£1,650), and the additional cost of any Professional Portfolio reviews for IHCD applicants (an additional £500).

Currently, there is no funding secured for the second year of study, meaning you will need to fund this yourself, totalling £1,500. The Trust will pay upfront for this and will recover the cost directly from your salary over the course of 12 months, commencing deductions in September 2019.
